How to buy UEFA Europa League match tickets

Aside from the UEFA Europa League final, you cannot buy tickets for Europa League matches directly through UEFA itself. Instead, they are sold club by club among the teams competing in the current edition. You must visit the individual club sites for the fixture you want to attend and buy your seat from there. In some cases, you will need to sign up as a club member to be able to secure your tickets.

Demand often exceeds available allocation, so in addition, fans can purchase Europa League tickets on the secondary market on platforms like StubHub.

How much are UEFA Europa League match tickets?

The price for UEFA Europa League tickets can vary due to multiple factors, including the round of the fixture, the clubs involved, and where the match is played. 

For example, a quarter-final that features Aston Villa at Villa Park is likely to be priced higher than a league phase game at Go Ahead Eagles’ home ground of ‘De Adelaarshorst’.

Prices for UEFA Europa League tickets are typically set by clubs at the start of a European campaign, ahead of the first matches. Depending on how far a team progresses and who their opponents are, prices may increase for future fixtures.

Keep tabs on the various clubs’ official ticket portals for additional information about availability and prices. Europa League match tickets on secondary resale sites such as StubHub are currently available from €34 upwards.
